This trial addresses the challenges to cardiovascular health of persons with type 2 diabetes by testing three complementary medical treatment strategies.

DREAM, Diabetes Reduction Assessment with Ramipril and Rosiglitazone Medication
Sponsor
Aventis
Description
DREAM is an international, multi-center, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial involving 4,000 participants at high risk for developing type II diabetes mellitus. Participants receive ramipril (ACE-I) or placebo and rosiglitazone (TZD) or placebo (therefore, there are 4 treatment combinations possible). The goal is to determine which group has a lower prospective incidence of DM. The study also collects observational data useful for establishing epidemiological associations between cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes mellitus.
